Question about using with kube-prometheus-stack

I am using kube-prometheus-stack and also want to have the DO insights available.
The documentation said to install kube-state-metrics, and also says:
"The advanced performance metrics populate in the Insights tab correctly only if the kube-state-metrics deployment is in the kube-system namespace."
"For users of prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus stack
The (kube-prometheus) stack installs kube-state-metrics as one of its components; you do not need to install kube-state-metrics if you're using the kube-prometheus stack."
So I installed using the below command to put it in the correct namespace, but I'm still not seeing the advanced metrics.
helm upgrade prometheus prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack -i --atomic --namespace kube-system
Can someone help me determine why this isn't connecting and maybe update the docs to cover this situation? It's not a big deal, but would be nice to have the metrics here as well as the Grafana dashboards.

Thanks for reaching out. The kube-state-metrics deployment must be in the kube-system namespace and its service must be called kube-system-metrics. When installing with the kube-prometheus-stack, there could be a mismatch in the service name. For further questions, please contact the Support team at https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com.
